Rivera was putrid. Rhule was more inept but Rivera definitely wasted much better talent.

Of course, Tepper probably encourages then to speak their minds and be honest. If you’re asking if Tepper told them to do something would they say no? Not unless it was illegal/unethical. I doubt Tepper is going to put them in a position they have to say no. If it’s about QBs, that’s their decision, Tepper isn’t going to tell or insinuate they should take someone they don’t want.

Eh, if Rodgers is there for one year and plays 65%+ of the snaps, they got fleeced. If he’s there two years, it’s a bad deal. If he’s there three or more years it’s a good deal for them. And it’s entirely possible. Rodgers is a nutcase and not a good person but he’s still a great QB and maybe a change of scenery is all the motivation he needs.

Pretty much all these attempts to use stats and analytics and models to make predictions are awful. Might work in the business or finance world. Football? Not so much.

Can’t tell if that’s being facetious or legit incredibly ignorant, but just to cover all the bases, OSU played against higher ranked defenses than Alabama and Stroud was almost always making multiple reads.

Bryce had to skitter around probably to get his throwing lanes, like Brees often had to. His processing speed comes into play because those throwing lanes were probably visible to him for less time than most QBs. He is legit quick at processing and decision making.

Yea but that wasn’t the case with Stroud this year. Maybe last year, but he didn’t have separation machines this year like he did last year. And Stroud was always making multiple reads, they weren’t one read and throw plays as much this year. Harrison and JSN are good receivers but they’re not blowing by anyone, they were usually covered and Stroud put the ball where only they could make a play. And they were good enough to make those plays usually. (of course occasionally there were broken coverages that let receivers just run free, just like with any good team, including Alabama)

Yea, didn’t know his own strength heh. That’s certainly a legit criticism of his throwing ability. Accuracy isn’t a legit criticism though.

Sure he lacked touch, I didn’t say anything about that

I think Mrs. Tepper hugging Young has been obscenely over exaggerated here. Jfc that doesn’t mean that she or her husband prefer Young at all, much less enough to try to influence his football guys to take him. Maybe she just got the impression he’s a hugger. Maybe they had just finished some deep insightful conversation and it seemed appropriate. Maybe she felt like since he looks like a little kid she should hug him like a little kid. This is a case of Occams Razor, if they take Young, it’s because the consensus among the football people was that he gives us the best chance to win.

Eh, Josh Allen was my favorite prospect in that draft so I researched him pretty well. He had a “low completion percentage” but his throws weren’t bad. He was just similar to Cam, bad system and no receivers. His throws were usually where they were supposed to be though.

I think he can definitely improve, but right now he throws more wild passes and simply off target stuff than just about any top candidate I’ve ever seen

Ok, The Golden Calf of Bristol might be worse. I’d still take Manziel as a passer over Scattershot Richardson.

No he’s not, Richardson is long gone.

He literally said Richardson is a better passer than Cam. Richardson might be the worst passer to go in the first round ever.

Brady never once had a receiving corps as bad as the one Cam took to the Super Bowl and won MVP with lol

I didn’t see someone say that, that’s obviously an exaggeration. He was a really good passer but not on the level with Brees, Rogers, Brady in terms of passing ability. I’ll say this, I’ll take Branch over any receiver Cam had outside of Smitty and maybe rookie DJ.

Plenty, plus arguably the greatest TE ever. A good TE is all we had after Smitty got dumped. Not to mention playcallers that didn’t eat glue.

Cam didn’t have accuracy issues, he maybe overthrew a tiny bit more than average, but he was excellent at deep balls, good at placement and overall accuracy. He just rarely had any receivers and a terrible OC that couldn’t scheme a receiver open if it was 11 on 7 for most of his career.

That’s basically where I’m at, I think all things considered they’re pretty comparable, but the separators: throwing ability vs off script playmaking, I value throwing ability more. The size thing is mildly concerning, but not the difference maker to me.

Well that’s just horse poo. He’s shorter, lighter and throws significantly worse.

To be clear, I’m less worried about his body deteriorating over the course of four or five years than I am of one vicious hit ending his career that wouldn’t have been as catastrophic on someone with more mass. Might never get hit like that, but he also might get hit and ended when the hit wouldn’t have ended someone else’s career.

A) I didn’t say we shouldn’t draft him. I like Young, he’s my second favorite QB in this draft and the only other one is want at #1. B) the point I was referring to is that it doesn’t matter that big hits are down when a tiny person is more likely to be more greatly affected by a single vicious hit than an average size person. Therefore, it only takes one matters more when discussing a tiny person.

Yep, and then later specifically 94.

It only takes once.
